I met up with the ATC Oasis Club this past weekend and we had a blast chatting while having lunch and trading cards. I managed to create May, June and July’s Artist Trading Cards (ATCs) and we’ll trade them in our next gathering in September.

I thought you might like to see them! I’ll be working on August and September to be current at the next meeting, so those will be coming within the month or so.

May ATC Supplies:
BasicGrey stamps
Ranger embossing ink
P K Glitz embossing powder
Croc paper from Marco’s Paper

June ATC Supplies:
Sizzix dies
Black craft foam
P K Glitz WonderFilm and Glitter
Reminisce stickers

July ATC Supplies:
The Stamps of Life stamp
Tsukineko ink
Bottle caps and fabric

Artist Trading Cards (ATC), ah yes, those little pieces of art! I recently got some great background and backs for ATC’s from Lost Coast Designs Stamps. Thanks to the Spring Virtual Convention on Rubber Stamp Chat, I got a great deal on them with free shipping! Thanks to Linda for the sale and prompt service!

I haven’t used them yet, hahahaha, gotcha! I used some stamps from Starving Artistamps and Faerie Song Stamps to create my Mardi Gras beauty. I double embossed the background with the gem bezels and harlequin. I stamped and embossed the gems first then stamped and embossed over them with the harlequin pattern in a different color. Neat effect isn’t it?

Supplies:
Starving Artistamps stamps

My ATC (Artist Trading Card) Club just met over the weekend. It was a great time! I did unfortunately wait until the last minute to make my ATC’s. The usual suspects for delaying – work, fighting a sinus infection, other commitments, yada yada yada. Oh, Stampfest was in there too.

ATC’s are 3 1/2″ x 2 1/2″ pieces of art. Try them sometime, they’re addicting!!

BUT, I did successfully complete them! I like one of them a lot and the other, so-s0. Oh well, that’s how it goes right?

We decided on the rest of our themes for the year – love that! Now I can do them as I have time or supplies. We meet in April next, so I’ll have a couple months to work on 2 batches. Should be able to do that!

Anyway, here are the gems! February’s theme was “Famous Couples” and March was “Recycle”.

Supplies:
BasicGrey patterned paper

There’s a group of us that meet at the LSS to exchange Artist Trading Cards (ATCs), usually every other month. We met this past weekend and what great themes we had! We exchanged for November, December and January due to the holidays.

November was an Autumn theme. I just had to use some mini Morsels stamps that I’ve had for quite some time. There is probably 35 or so mini stamps that are all in the Autumn theme in the set. They are similar to the Rubber Stamp Tapestry sets, but these were from Sugarloaf Stamps which became Inque Boutique which was bought by Darice. Unfortunately they’ve decided to not continue the brand. At least I have the stamps!

Supplies:
Stampin’ Up! cardstock
Sugarloaf/Inque Boutique and Stampin’ Up! stamps
Tsukineko ink
Flower Soft

I already posted my December “open theme” ATC – Snowflakes – if you’d like to see it again.

The January theme was “Games or Toys”. I chose the games theme since I had some stamps to fit the bill (imagine that!). It seemed that I was sticking with the orange tones as above. Something about the game Bingo makes me think of orange. Don’t know why…

Supplies:
Stampin’ Up! cardstock
Stampers Anonymous stamps
Tsukineko ink
Ranger paint dabbers
Sizzix Playground alpha dies
Fun Foam

Do you remember that song from Styx? Ok, maybe I’m dating myself, but it was such a catchy song in a sort of mechanical way??

Here’s a simple ATC using all metallic embossing powders from P K Glitz – Gold, Silver Max and Not So Rusted Penny to be exact. All gorgeous colors and too cute for my Mr. Roboto.

Supplies:
